We regularly come up to your area and spend a day or so around Portmahomack; one of our favourite locations. We heard some where about a Community Wood, but are not sure where it is. Is it the woodland going up the road towards Rockfield: at Fairfield where the road turns sharp left and there is a track to the right with woods along the track on the left ? If so, is there any car parking either up the track by the wood or elsewhere nearby ? Many thanks, Dave.
